Atlanta area quintet makes quirky, rhythmic material that will perk up your ears. Power pop roots gone awry–this album is a lot of fun. Name your price on Bandcamp.

Slacker psychedelia captured in DIY video. They are the kings of the sun. Find a patch of grass, lay down and stare at the sky.

Recorded live at Mellow Johnny’s Bike Shop in Austin (SXSW). Parquet Courts continue to ride the wave of last year’s, Light Up Gold. If you’re a big fan, check out this documentary of the Parquet Courts captured in Austin and Monterrey around the time of SXSW.
